IEEE 1284

IEEE 1284

An IEEE standard for an enhanced parallel interface (parallel port) for personal computers, superseding the Centronics interface. Introduced in 1994, IEEE 1284 can send addresses, allowing individual components in a multifunction device (printer, scanner, fax, etc.) to be addressed independently. Unlike the Centronics interface, the specifications of the cable are also defined in IEEE 1284, providing a cable length up to 32 feet. A legacy interface today, IEEE 1284 has been superseded by USB and network connections. See Centronics interface, DOT4 and USB.

The foreign ministers involved attempted to persuade Baghdad of the merits of UN Security Council resolution 1284, which paved the way for the suspension of sanctions, provided inspectors were allowed back into Iraq.

Foreign Office Minister Peter Hain said Iraq must understand that UN resolution 1284 was the only choice it had to ensure the eventual lifting of sanctions imposed after Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait.

He demonstrates the portentous economic results of the Pisan defeat at the hands of Genoa in the Battle of Meloria in 1284, which came as a consequence of connections made by Pisa Guelf exiles with their Guelf counterparts in other sections of Italy, including Guelf Florence and the Gaetani family of Boniface VIII and Rome.
